FIRST PRIVATE TESLA S PLAID ON NURBURGRING!!

Here we go!
This time i bringed my personal TESLA MODEL S PLAID for a ride on the mother Nordschleife!
This is the first public session of 2023, not optimal condition as you can see with dirty track due to the race day before and little rainy on some part of the track, only 8°c outside temperature aswell
So very very gentle lap just for testing it
So what can i say?….well as expected the car is AMAZING, offcourse it was not a fast lap but we can feel the potential of the car here and most importantly the car feel easy, well balanced and safe, which is super important on the Nordschleife
The car not overheated during the lap as we can experience on the model 3, anyway the battery pack became red after the third lap, even with this limp mode we have something like 500hp, so enough for continuing driving around on the track and overtaking 90% of the cars here :-)
No problem with the brake as you can see, i had a constant brake feeling during the all test (10 laps on total) but i upgraded it, see below the spec of the car
Spec of the car:
Tesla model S plaid in track mode at 95% soc
50% FRONT 50% REAR traction repartition
60% brake regeneration
traction control off
Micehlin Ps4s stock on stock wheels
Brake pads carbotec xp 10 on MOUNTAIN PASS PERFORMANCE front and rear 408mm (original Tesla brakes calipers) RBF 650 brake fluids, work as same as Tesla carbon ceramic brakes!! a very good brake package for under 6000euros!!

[@randypobstofficial]

Hey Seb Vittel 😁 Enjoyed your lap! I race a Plaid up Pikes Peak for @UnpluggedPerformance You are smooth, fast, and responsible with traffic, even in tricky ‘Ring drizzle conditions 😮 A good package stock, don’t you think? Except for brakes. When I hot lapped Laguna Seca and Willow Springs, they fried instantly. 1/2 lap. But Unplugged can fix that and improve handling a lot. I love the massive, instant, electric torque, and the super-low center of gravity helps hide the heavy weight. Our race Plaid, “Dark Helmet”, has big brake upgrade, wide fenders, wheels, control arms, race shocks, and more: huge aero. Great lap, hope to see you out there sometime!

[@sebastianvittel74]

Hey! I know who you are….LEGEND 🤩🤙🏻 Thanks you! This was a really gentle lap to discover the car on the nordschleife, just took it very very easy😮 I have the stock calipers with better disc/pads/fluid it works really good. The car is in general a good package, well balanced, easy to drive, smooth and predictable, perfect for the Nurburgring! Unfortunately there is the dark point about the overheating when we are too much on the throttle and that is really a shame 😢 Do you experience also overheating on pikes peak ??

[@SoCalVipers]

I love watching guys at your level. So smooth! I always feel sick when I get a hot lap with a fast driver, but once I had a hot lap in Viper with Tommy Kendal, and he's a smooth driver like you. I didn't feel sick at all. Guys like you are fun to watch - it's as if the car is an extension of your own body like an additional limb.

[@sebastianvittel74]

Thank you, i was very gentle on this lap

[@teampgr]

First of all Sebastian is very good as you say, and he isn't going 10/10ths on this lap. But that said the car is very well behaved dynamically stock. We have modified our car with the help of Sasha from Mountain Pass Performance and it is even better. It doesn't do anything snappy - the weight of the car is all very low to the ground of course in the pack/motors, the balance is 50/50 and the car is doing 1000hz traction control to ensure it stays where you are pointing it. The difficulty is just because of the insane acceleration and the speed which it can attain so quickly. It's a ton of fun!

[@mikelin7]

Cant believe falling asleep after watching this. Too smooth.

[@lechoix88]

[@sebastianvittel74]

[@StalePhish]

Awesome! I am also impressed by the battery temperature, it stayed green the whole time. What a rocket out of the corners. During the traffic I don't think they expected to be passed so quickly

[@sebastianvittel74]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@teampgr]

We have a Motec on our Plaid installed by Sasha at Mountain Pass Performance so we can watch temps very closely and have tested/tracked the car quite a bit over the last 18 months. The battery on the Plaid display will stay green all the way until it is pulling power a little over 60C. If you are really accelerating hard that's just a few seconds before it turns red. The heating of the pack is non-linear as well - Sebastian was not on the power 100% for long periods of time during the lap which is when the heat generation is significant. As he said, this was a 'gentle' lap to test the car. The neutral point is about 450-550hp (depending on ambient temps) - at that power level the car's radiator and AC system can remove enough heat such that the battery temperature stays steady. If you don't go 100% then the car has much more time to remove heat and much less heat to remove and will drive for quite a while. If someone cranked it up to 10/10ths the car will only do a few miles before pulling power. We haven't been to the ring of course, but I'd guess you would get about 2/3rds of a lap (6-8 miles) at most in max attack - so really for laptime the game would be to use power where it benefits time the most, and not where it doesn't. Yes, the Plaid is a passing machine and it's a ton of fun to have all that power available!

[@sebastianvittel74]

@@teampgr this is exactly the point! Even On a better track conditions, for a laptime attempt i will only be 100% of throttle at 3 places i think, rest of the time only 50/60% of the throttle for avoiding this overheating 😓 That’s a shame, a good start from tesla will be to make an update where we can use sport instead plaid on track mode, then it can be manageable more easy…

[@konradlindblad7860]

@@teampgr Would it help with the temps to switch off Brake Regen? And is there any way to upgrade the cooling, like larger radiators and/or better fans?

[@teampgr]

@@konradlindblad7860 No - the regen maxes out in the ~250kw range and the heating is non-linear, that level doesn't really generate any meaningful heat which you can see in the logs. It's when the pack is at 400-600-800kw where the heat is generated. The inverters are working harder when they are doing regen, but they also are not the limiting factor. Stay tuned for more attempts to cool the pack... :D We've got something we are trying out. Theoretically on a Palladium (Not any 3 or Y) car cooling could help.

[@The806Traveler]

[@slartybartfarst9737]

Smooth measured use of the 1,000+HP, its clear the torque reserve at any point just makes putting any pass safe and easy, line it up and press go when clear. I love driving my S or Zero SRF, electric drive is an overtaking weapon.

Aww man you cut at the best part :D Ive never really driven a car but Ive done atleast like 500 laps in nordschleife in various games, pretty much memorized it, always fun to watch others go around it

[@n1vca]

The mirror was exactly in the way, very annoying ... but I wonder why the others cars were all parked on the race track 🤣 and nobody even tried to stay behind the Plaid.

[@xXAlmdudlerXx]

That went better than I expected. I thought we´d see all sorts of overheating warning lights but none of that. How did the brakes do?

[@matgee8892]

You've got to remember it is wet so a much more gentle lap than usual.

[@benji185]

I did this a few years ago in an Audi S8, great fun! That Plaid is just a weapon! Great driving too - nice vid :-)

[@kassd2]

So much better without unnecessary engine noise. Just speed, traction and you

[@taforth]

Cool - thanks for sharing!

[@sebastianvittel74]

Génial 👍 très bon pilotage au moins un Seb qui n’a pas pris sa retraite 🥲😄 Tu as eu l’occasion de revoir Misha pour un test de la plaid ensemble ? Merci pour tes vidéos c’est vraiment génial

[@sebastianvittel74]

Merci a toi! Oui full review avec Misha prevu debut Mai

[@valentingarampon3679]

@@sebastianvittel74 excellent !

[@Miata822]

This should be an interesting year on the track as many interesting cars hit the European market, and hopefully a dry track for another Plaid run.

[@stayphun6188]

Simply awesome

[@sebastianvittel74]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@pascaljean2333]

Dude be playing against NPC's in beginning mode. Great driving!!! You know this track like you drive it everyday

[@sebastianvittel74]

I have quiet few laps here yes 😅

[@MeSs2007]

If every driver at Nurburgring was so careful while overtaking, I would feel safer with driving there in real life. Very nice driving!
